Names and faces

Glen Campbell’s Alzheimer’s disease has progressed too far to allow him to continue touring. Instead, he was to spend his 77th birthday on Monday in Washington as an advocate for Alzheimer’s research. Alzheimer’s has robbed Campbell of many of his memories, gained over a lifetime as a pop star, session musician, actor and TV variety show host. But it hasn’t taken everything. Campbell will release a new album, SeeYou There, on July 30. It’s a reimagining of some of his most popular songs, recorded by Julian Raymond during the same sessions that produced Campbell’s last studio album of all new material, 2011’s Ghost on the Canvas. The album offers new versions of his biggest hits like “Wichita Lineman,” “By the Time I Get to Phoenix,” “Rhinestone Cowboy” and “Hey Little One.” Campbell remains healthy and vigorous and continues to play golf, his family said.

A court hearing on a disorderly-conduct charge has been rescheduled for actress Reese Witherspoon. Witherspoon’s case was scheduled for a Monday morning hearing, but it was reset for May 22. She was arrested Friday. The Oscar-winning actress released a statement late Sunday apologizing for her behavior when her husband, Hollywood agent Jim Toth, was arrested in Atlanta and accused of driving under the influence of alcohol. Toth also had a hearing set for Monday, but it was rescheduled for May 23. The actress didn’t appear in court. She was in New York on Sundaynight attending the premiere of her new movie Mud. Witherspoon, 37, said in the Sunday statement. “I was disrespectful to the officer who was just doing his job. The words I used that night definitely do not reflect who I am. I have nothing but respect for the police and I’m very sorry for my behavior.”
